For some unknown reason (at least unknown to me), I need to whisper or mumble while proofreading the text, particularly if the text is extremely difficult/complex. Somehow, it helps me focus on what I'm doing.

A translation needs to be right but must also sound right...

reading the target text...and when translating video scripts. I have done a couple of them, one recently. It was supposed to be a certain amount of time in length, and I also wanted to make sure it had the right sound. So I read it out loud as if I were narrating the video, making sure it sounded natural. I have to admit I sounded pretty good.
